What happens on the card

A black bear is stuck in a car on a snowy Alaska driveway, honking the horn while the pillows fly. A friendly officer has tied a rope to the door handle: each tap is a tug, HEAVE!, and the door creaks open a little more. When it pops, the bear tumbles out holding the birthday cake it was after all along, cream on its nose, and the family cheers.

Who it is for

Bear lovers, campers and hikers, Alaska dreamers, and the big, cuddly, slightly grumpy one in your life.
